Fall is in the air and the Summer of CMA is drawing to a close. We want to extend our gratitude to everyone who has followed us all summer and participated in our blog.

If you liked what you saw here and want to stay updated on CMA happenings then bookmark clevelandart.wordpress.com. We’ll be posting there to keep you informed of CMA news, events, programs and exhibitions. You’ll also get the personal views of our curators and performing arts staff. We hope to see you there!

The Romie-Mobile is going to be out and about this Saturday getting some fresh air in Sandusky. She won’t be going to Cedar Point, but she will be learning all about reds and whites at one of Ohio’s oldest wineries. Don’t worry Romie is a responsible driver so she won’t be trying the Isle St. George Cabernet Sauvignon or the Rose de St. George. She’ll just have to stick to the cheese and crackers.

If you spot her learning about the bottling process or guess which winery she is at leave a comment and you can win a gift certificate to Malley’s Chocolates!

What is Romie up to this weekend? Keep reading for some clues to Romie’s “essential-Cleveland” weekend. (Keep in mind that Romie starts her weekends on Friday).

Romie starts her weekend with a trip to this Cleveland favorite, known to be a premiere craft brewery in the Great Lakes Region. Maybe she’ll start off with a meat and cheese board and some Stilton Cheddar Ale soup. Since she’s too young to drink a Dortmunder Gold she might try some Edmund Fitzgerald chunk ice cream.

She’ll let her weekend adventure continue and head over to this Cleveland venue to enjoy a night with a Grammy winner and multi-platinum superstars. Hope she remembers her cowboy hat.

Rumor has it that Romie is stopping by this MVP’s court on Saturday to get a quick lesson on his game; and another game where the players are not as graceful as figure skaters. Hopefully she remembers not to call them the Loch Ness Monsters.

**Comment on the blog as to where Romie will be spending her weekend and be entered to win a pair of ticktes to the Improv, Hilarities or the Grog Shop.

**Congratulations to our recent winners! David Freeman spotted Romie at Art on Tap Wednesday and won a pair of tickets to the Grog Shop (image below). Susan Russell spotted Romie at the Mix 106.5 Listener Lunch yesterday and won a free pizza from Donato’s! Thanks for playing!

The Sunsational Storyteller Series concludes this weekend, August 14, 15 and 16 with Cleveland’s own powerful poet, Mary Weems. With a variety of times, you won’t miss out on this wonderful event.

Friday, August 14 at 5 and 7 p.m.

Saturday, August 15 at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Sunday, August 16 at 1 and 3:30 p.m.

Not only is Weems known for her poetry, but she is an accomplished playwright, author, motivational speaker, and imagination-intellect theorist. She will take audiences on a journey in the newly installed contemporary galleries of the East Wing, examining art from the 1960s looking forward.

Don’t miss this FREE event and ice cream that follows. You’re going to want a seat for this, especially since the previous Sunsational Storyteller events have sold out! Call 1-888-CMA-0033 for reservations and beat this weekend’s heat!

Food, drinks, music and nudity–in the art that is–are showcased tonight at CMA with live music from JJ Magazine and Good Morning Valentine, gallery strolls exploring nudity in art with local guest artist Dr. Theresa Boyd and honorary host, Cleveland Bridge Builders. The event also includes appetizers featuring organic and locally farmed ingredients by Western Reserve Bread Company, and signature drinks fuzzy navel and Great Lakes’ Burning River.

Free admission all night. There are charges for bars, food stations and parking. Art on Tap is sponsored by Great Lakes Brewing Company.

Well, Romie’s back from vacation and it was faaaabulous! She’ll be out this weekend socializing with a few of her friends.

Even better news, the contests, prizes and fun are back too! Spot the “Romie-mobile” at this weekend’s big regional event, shoot us an email at haveyouseenit@clevelandart.org, or send a comment to the blog about it, and you’ll be entered to win two free passes to Hilarities night club. Clue: this blog’s headline.
